Thematic Poem: Finding the Length of a Side in an Equiangular Hexagon

In the realm of shapes and lines,
Geometry holds its design,
A problem to solve with great care,
Equiangular hexagon, quite rare.

With three side lengths at our behest,
We seek the length of the fourth, our quest,
Angles equal, sixty degrees,
Precision paramount, our expertise.

In the world of math and art,
Geometry sets us apart,
Solving puzzles, one by one,
Finding solutions, 'til we're done.
